How to have choices without subtitle text

Hello, I'm trying to set up dialogue to allow the player to make choices without any corresponding dialogue / subtitle text. My end goal is to have two options for the player: To be able to select between options without displaying any image or name, and to be able to converse while displaying a nam...

Re: Updating variables via script

I'm posting the completed code here for reference, in case anyone else is trying to do something similar. This code allows the custom sequencer command 'Dual' to set a variable value or perform an addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division operation (+=, -=, *=, or /=) on the same variable f...

Re: Updating variables via script

I thought I needed to send the entire command as a string and let Lua parse it. I didn't realize you could call it as a different type of value. Thank you so much, it's working now.

Re: Updating variables via script

Thank you for the link, I didn't realize it worked that way. Unfortunately, that isn't the issue, though. The variables are being set in one conversation, and then the next conversation references them with a branching pathway. It's a simple set of a/b test conversations I put together to make sure ...

Updating variables via script

I've created a script that updates a variable in both dialogue system and in playmaker, for scenarios in which I need both variables synchronized simultaneously. Unfortunately, it's behaving inconsistently. Sequence of events: 1. A sequence command Dual(test, false) changes the variable Main.test to...

Assigning sprites to an actor's portraits

I've written a script for a custom playmaker action that allows me to assign a new sprite as an actor's portrait. My goal is to assign a new portrait sprite, then have the old one fade to the new one over a short period of time which I can specify. I thought the easiest way might be to assign the ne...

Applying Main Camera CRT Effect to Dialogue Canvas

Hello, I'm using a heavily edited VN Template for my dialogue. I've attached a script to main camera which uses a shader, materials, and textures to render a CRT filter. The dialogue manager's canvas components are not included in the render, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to fix that. I wo...
